The Vanished World of Gloves

1982·Animation·17m
7.1
Using an array of gloves in different styles and from different historical periods, the film is a short history of the cinema - from silent movies via pastiches of Buñuel and Fellini and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to a futurist junkyard where tin cans become animated police cars in a city of urban decay.

**A fever dream of a film.
**
After a construction worker finding a film tape, he goes hope and plays it, only to find a odd depiction of animate gloves in different time frames. In the style of different film periods, the first depiction starts off like a silent film comedy. This ends and is followed by another depiction, in the style of later cinema (50s), of a romance. Different events are shown all in different styles, including a dictatorship glove system, ultimately ending in an apocalyptic setting where there is glove on glove violence(?) and a crocodile that is mauling the gloves adding to the chaos.

So fucking weird but easily my favorite of Barta’s short films. So goofy and weird and creative I loved it I really thought it was gonna be a lot creepier than that though from the title and the poster and the backdrop everything looked so creepy and then I realized it was more of a comedy than anything
